The starchy vegetable is high in vitamin C.
Guacamole is a staple at New York City–based recipe developer Michelle Kresch Gilbert's family gatherings. With the addition of basil, parsley, and some Parmesan, she created a mashup of two popular green dips: guacamole and pesto. "It's best served with something colorful and crunchy, like raw radish or jicama, but fresh sweet potato chips make a great vessel to carry the dip," she says.
Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place sweet potato discs on a baking sheet and toss to coat with 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, and pepper as desired. Spread in an even layer and bake until golden and crisp, 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 2
While the sweet potatoes are baking, combine minced jalapeño, walnuts, and basil in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
Step 3
Then, add avocados, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, spinach, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to food processor or blender and blend until smooth and combined. Transfer avocado-spinach mixture to bowl with jalapeño, walnut, and basil. Add Parmesan and stir to combine. Season with more salt and pepper as desired.
Step 4
Serve chips and dip immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days.
